Editor of Sudarshan News posts controversial cartoon showing Muslims pelting stones at Chandrayaan 3
New Delhi: Suresh Chavhanke, the editor of Sudarshan News, a media outlet known for its polarizing content, recently posted a cartoon on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, which has sparked controversy.
The cartoon, accused of being anti-Muslim and inflammatory, depicts Muslims throwing stones at Chandrayaan 3, India's third lunar exploration mission by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
The cartoon features characters dressed in traditional Kurta Pajamas and wearing skull caps, symbolically shown hurling stones at the Chandrayaan 3 lander. The illustration also includes a display board with the text in Hindi reading, "chand ki Zameen waqf ki milkiyat hai," which translates to "The Moon's land belongs to Waqf," a statement that appears to mock the Waqf board.
Chavhanke had previously faced legal consequences for his online behavior. He was arrested on August 11 by the Cyber Crime Unit of Gurugram Police for posting an inflammatory tweet on X. The tweet in question was related to the Nuh Violence and implicated foreign media house Al Jazeera in influencing law enforcement actions that allegedly resulted in the arrest of individuals associated with the Hindutva movement.
Following his arrest, Chavhanke was granted bail. However, another individual who shared his controversial tweet was placed in judicial custody.

Shillong (PTI): An interstate racket involved in ATM thefts across several states has been busted, with the arrest of six persons in connection with a break-in at an electronic banking outlet in Meghalaya's Ri-Bhoi district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused were allegedly involved in breaking into an ATM of the Meghalaya Cooperative Apex Bank on April 5, 2024, they said.
Three of the accused were arrested from Barpeta in Assam, while the remaining were apprehended from Haryana, police said.
Ri-Bhoi SP Giri Prasad M said a special police team was constituted to investigate the case.
"With coordinated efforts and assistance from Assam and Haryana Police, we were able to apprehend the accused involved in the ATM break-in," he told PTI.
The case was registered at Umiam police station under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

"The group is part of a larger network involved in similar ATM thefts across different states. Further investigation is underway to dismantle the entire network," the SP added.
